TimexEasy Reader 35 mm Date Window Watch

I have worn one of these watches every day for years. Clear and legible, superb backlit dial, and it looks smart! This is my second, as I finally wore out my previous one. I cannot recommend it highly enough. As a bus driver, the ease if use and indiglo is indispensable. My favourite part about this watch is that it's wearable all the time. As a dress watch, at work, at the gym. You can even wear it whilst swimming.

Simple and effective on all counts. Good value. Clear dial. Lights up in the dark. Water resistant. Looks good.

I’m very pleased to get this watch. I was almost despairing of finding a watch with simple, classic lines, one that doesn’t talk to you or have a touch screen, or a clunky overcomplex face, or is ‘styled’ in a way that I feel has nothing to do with me.The watch looks solid with a good finish; there’s nothing cheap or tinny about its appearance. Other reviewers have commented that it’s too small – it seems to me if anything a bit overlarge. You can easily measure 35mm, but note as well that it’s quite thick, standing up 8mm from the wrist. The numbers are big all right: good for people who have problems with their vision. Other people have also said that the tick is loud, and I was anticipating that might be a downside. In fact if you put your ear right up close to it you can hear it, but otherwise it might as well be making no sound at all.Some points that other reviewers didn’t specify: the battery is replaceable. The strap certainly appears to be replaceable, though I haven’t tried yet. That was important for me; one reason why I wanted a watch with a leather strap, as you can buy replacement ones of the right size on Amazon.I was surprised to discover how difficult it was to adjust the date. The principle’s fine: pull one click out for date adjustment, two clicks out to adjust the hands. In practice, you pull the crown what seems to be one click out and it adjusts the hands; if you then pull it right out and one click in, it adjusts the hands again, and a tiny, tiny bit futher in than that, it turns the light on, showing you that the crown’s fully in. It was very tricky, though not impossible, to fiddle it to the magical position where it would actually move the date number. I hope it doesn’t get any harder as the watch gets older.Personally, I’d have preferred it not to have a date display. I usually know what the date is anyway, but if it’s there you have to get it right.One star off for the date, but otherwise I’d recommend this watch.

Easy to read dial and a great add on. Just press the knob and the dial lights up enabling you to tell the time even in the pitch dark!Great value for money.

Great watch. Easy to see display. Lightweight and fitted well.

Good watch, I bought one for my dad, years ago and he loved it, he used to sat," it's the best watch for keeping time, and was value for money ", so I've bought it in his memory, and I wear it daily.

Simple, bold and fun. Dial glow function is quite handy. Looks elegant with smart, casual or formal attire.

Pros:+ simple design+ easy to read+ I think quite stylish!Cons:- extremely noisy! I can hear the ticking sound at all times when wearing it- the strap is very stiff and seems cheap – I assume it'll wear in and soften over time, but it's a bit uncomfortable- even on the smallest holes it's slightly loose for me personally
